Cytokinin formulation BA |
Conifer | BA 0.01 to 225 ppm/scions dipped prior to grafting or single foliar spray 400 ppm/1 foliar spray; BA 400 ppm reduced height but trees were deformed with poor root growth BA 450 ppm/six foliar sprays at five-day intervals in May and again when weather warmed BA 500 to 1000 ppm/foliar spray applied four times at two-week intervals or whole tree foliar spray application 6 weeks after budbreak BA 2000 ppm/Lanolin paste applied in late summer and autumn 0.1% 9-BA Vasoline paste applied to cut roots (worked best)
| Growth inhibition Phytotoxicity Branching agent Propagation
|
Deciduous | BA 11 to 34 ppm/solution applied to the base of a stem via an absorbent wick in mid-summer BA 10 ppm/soak of four-year-old dormant seedlings 50–200 ppm ± Promalin 1000 ppm/foliar sprays BA 100 ppm/stem dip BA 225 ppm/droplet applied daily to a lateral bud
| Branching agent Propagation
|
Fruit Trees | BA 200 ppm/drops placed onto buds of cut branches in January BA 300 ppm/single foliar spray in summer at various times BA 150 to 600 ppm/single foliar sprays in autumn
| Dormancy release Flower enhancer Branching agent
|
Shrub | BA 1 to 100 ppm/continuous dip of dormant cut stems BA 1 to 100 ppm, Thidiazuron 1 to 50 ppm/continuous dip of cut stems or BA added at various times 10 to 100 ppm/foliar spray every three days 2–32 times BA 200 ppm and 2iP 100 ppm most effective/single foliar sprays onto unpinched plants BA 100 to 1000 ppm/1–2 foliar sprays in summer BA 2500–5000 ppm/1–5 foliar sprays one week apart in April

Cytokinin formulation BA + GA |
Deciduous | BA + GA (Promalin) 1500 ppm/foliar spray applied 10 weeks after the end of spring BA + GA (BAP-10) 1250 ppm/two to four weekly foliar spray applications BA + GA 400 ppm of BA & 2iP and 450 ppm of Promalin/single foliar sprays BA + GA 200 ppm, Promalin 1000 ppm/single foliar spray or three foliar sprays onto rooted cuttings
| Branching agent Dormancy release
|
Fruit Tree | BA + GA 500 ppm each/three applications at one week intervals to one-year-old plants; very effective when followed by injection and Lanolin BA + GA (Promalin) 1500 ppm/single foliar spray in June to one-year-old plants BA 1 to 900 ppm, BA + GA (Promalin) 1000 ppm/one to two applications worked best
| |
Shrub | BA + GA (Fascination) 125 to 500 ppm/two foliar spray applications at day 0 and day 21 BA + GA 200 ppm, Promalin 1000 ppm/single foliar spray or three foliar sprays 450 ppm of Promalin/single foliar sprays BA + GA 200 ppm, Promalin 1000 ppm/single foliar spray or three foliar sprays onto rooted cuttings BA+ GA, PBA, Thidiazuron all at 200 ppm/single foliar spray BA + GA (BAP-10) 1250 ppm/two to four weekly foliar spray applications Promalin 5000 ppm in April was better than pruning

Cytokinin formulation Kinetin |
Conifer | | |
Deciduous | | Growth inhibitor Dormancy release
|
Fruit Tree | | Branching agent Dormancy release
|
Shrub | Kinetin 80 ppm/released shoots from dormancy when applied to them Kinetin 100 to 500 ppm Growth inhibitor GA + Kinetin 100 ppm + 100 ppm/applied every four days to the flower bud Kinetin 270 ppm with GA 90 ppm/increased branching more than either chemical alone
| Dormancy release Branching agent Bud break and formation
|
Cytokinin formulation BA + Kinetin |
Conifer | | |
Shrub | 1.17 ppm BA + 1.17 ppm Kinetin/45 ml soil drenches every two weeks from June to September; the low 1.5 ml rate increased plant quality; the 3.0 ml rate increased growth BA 100 ppm/foliar spray 2 to 32 times with no effect on growth
| Stress tolerant Branching agent Dormancy release
